Rhino73z Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Might be able also to make a quick run this Saturday...depending on work commitments. Quote
Cdr Zero Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 My car is at the mechanics getting a cv joint fixed atm. Maybe after easter? Quote

Surly_Z Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 I've actually got my first Soccer game of the season at 1pm, so maybe I can meet up with you guys after? Either that or we make the cruise a little later? Chris can you PM me your address? Quote
sco_aus Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 I can't see why I couldn't make it. So i'll be there. Quote
Rhino73z Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Count me in. Need to adjust the front wheel bearing before I head off but that shouldn't take to long...unless the gremlins strike. Quote
sco_aus Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Well im still good to go, got a permit today and about to go for a run to get some fuel. So, is everyone still coming who said they would? Quote
chris240 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Posted April 17, 2009 I just spoke to Simon, hes ok.. So meet at 1pm at the entrance to Stromlo bike track on Urriara rd...keep your mobiles on Quote
sco_aus Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Bump. Miika is confirmed as still coming too. Razz can't make it. Quote
Cdr Zero Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 I had a great time, the drive was fantastic and Chris cooks a mean barbie! Quote
sco_aus Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 So we had a good turn out. chris240 (Chris), rhino73z (Simon), CDR_ZERO (Miika), ChinaElephants (Brenton) and myself. The 5 of us drove up around the Cotter for a bit of a fun drive, Simon led and was quick with Miika trying to keep up and me knowing i had very little brakes stayed nice and far back with the other 2 guys having a leisurely drive instead further back. Afterwards we went back to Chris's house for a bbq, beers and a chat. Whilst there we were joined by Surley_Z (josh) and his partner at the bbq. Was a nice afternoon, clear skies with some good photos taken from the top of Mount Stromlo where the observatory was burnt out in the 2003 bush fires, great view though. Big thanks to Chris for the bbq and beers and for everyone coming including Brenton with his RB20 powered early 240 which no one knew he was coming Love the wheels Quote
Cdr Zero Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Haha I tried... didn't quite manage to stay with Simon though... (He beat me but good). He said he's finally managed to get it to the point where he's happy with the way everything is working on his car. It's no slouch on the straights or the corners! Great fun trying to keep up! While we were having a chat once everyone had arrived a red Pantera showed up and the owner with a little boy hopped out and spoke with us for a while which was really nice. He'd put twin-turbos onto his 351 Cleveland V8!! Sadly my camera phone's camera function is dying and one out of every 6 tries actually took a photo so I didn't end up taking a picture of it. I may have kinda-sorta twisted Chris's arm to take pictures with his camera that he had... Quote
chris240 Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 heres that pic of the immaculate twin-turbo 351 De-tomaso Pantera that joined us.. and the other pic is my personal collection of zeds that I parked in my front yard to the delight of some neighbourhood riff-raff. Quote
